COMBAT ENG SYSTEMS
Abstract
This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates advanced military engineering and geospatial research and engineering technologies. Military engineering technologies demonstrated include individual, group and asset protection such as overhead cover, structures, protective shields, barriers, and deployable force protection (DFP) to combat highly adaptive and increasingly severe threats through integration, demonstrations, and red teaming. DFP activities are focused on solving critical gaps in protecting forces operating at smaller, remote bases. Geospatial research and engineering technologies demonstrated include Battlespace Terrain Reasoning and Awareness (BTRA) and Collaborative Battlespace Reasoning and Awareness (COBRA), which was titled Joint-Geospatial Enterprise Services (J-GES) in FY09 and FY10, technologies. BTRA enables the Warfighter to understand the impact of the terrain and weather effects during planning and execution of military operations. The COBRA program matures and demonstrates technology that supports network centric delivery and update of geospatial data and services to all echelons for battle command planning and mission rehearsal. Objectives include novel detection methods for persistent surveillance and applying Civil Military Operations algorithms addressing interrelationship between human and physical terrain. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. This work is fully coordinated with and complementary to PE 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology). DFP activities are coordinated with US Army Research Development and Engineering Command, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Services. Work in this project is led, managed or performed by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center, Vicksburg, MS. The work in deployable force protection is coordinated with US Army Research Development and Engineering Command, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and the Services.
